  1. I got the ram in mid 2018 and the psu when I first built the system in early 2017. According to event viewer the first crash was on 08.27. and the one after on 09.12.. But looking back at what projects I was working on at the time, I can't really remember having any issues at the time. The first crash i remember around mid Oktober, but they have gotten much more common recently (6 in the last week).
  2. I'll look into that. Some of what I read pointed in that direction but some was hinting at corrupted drivers. I'll try to find out a bit more before I send them an RMA request.
  3. Ok, so I looked into the Windows Event Viewer and found this: I looked further into the Critical Errors, but are about 100 Errors a day normal? Most of the Critical Errors had BugcheckCode 0 or 278. And the codes 307 and 209 appeared once each (within the last 7 days). Some Screenshots: None of the components are overclocked except for activating the XMP profile for the memory. Some of the errors seemingly should have resulted in a BSOD but I have not actually ever seen one on this pc. Utilization of Hardware during Idle is: CPU: 3-6% Memory: 33% GPU:0-1% I guess I'm going to read through some of the documentation I linked for the error codes.
  4. My System: So my system started crashing about 6 weeks ago. At first only once a week or so, now sometimes twice a day. The PC either just restarts or stays on backscreen indefinitely (RGB in the case stays on). There have not been any crashes, while running resource intensive tasks like VR software, rendering 3d models and compiling code thankfully. Usually it happens during web browsing, word processing or playing e-sports games. One time, the pc just didn't return from sleep and I had to hard reset it. I do have some stuff like Spotify and Chrome (with about 300 Tabs open) running at all times. So I checked the reliability monitor and the crashes looked like this: With an added Hardware error in about 10% of the crashes. LightingService seems to be Asus' RGB control software so I uninstalled it but the crashes did not stop occurring. So I guess the LightingService.exe crashes because Windows crashes, not the other way around? Another thing I noticed (might not be related) is, that from time to time (once every 3 hours-ish), for a split second, there are colorful vertical stripes covering about 10% of one monitor. Seems like it would be GPU related to me. It only ever occurs on one specific monitor. This does not really bother me that much, but it could be related I guess. Might be a sign of my GPU dying. Even if I upgrade to a new platform, I would still need to know what the problem is, so I can sell the parts without basically scamming someone... Where can i find more detailed crash logs to pinpoint the issue? Anything I can rule out as the source? GPU, CPU, MB, PSU? Thanks in advance.
  5. When I saw some of the features on the Microsoft family page like sharing calendar events, sharing store purchases etc. I wanted to set it up for my family. But when I sent invitations to my siblings and parents, they got those emails. Which is kinda weird. So is a member the same as a kid? Is this mainly intended for protection of minors? Will I ever be able to untangle the accounts. What kind of control do family managers have over members. And why is there so little info available?
  6. @Nathanpete I think I'd just frantically move the mouse until I find it If the change is not instantaneous, it might even be more annoying to unintentionally move the mouse out of the window and get a backscreen twice. And don't worry. I should be able to make something work with autohotkey myself. I was just hoping for a more polished solution.
  7. Unfortunately I have no free ports on my GPU. And I think the performance could actually be better with this idea:
  8. Sounds like it could work as last resort. But I was really hoping for something more streamlined. : / When oversimplifying, it would only have to access the right framebuffer. All Screens have the same resolution as well. I already own 3 Screens and am happy with them + The ultrawide would be too small for the seating-sceen distance.
  9. No, I do not want my desktop spanning 3 displays. When I use the TV I can not see the other two monitors. So I want the TV to mirror the Monitor, on which the cursor currently is. So 1 monitor is the main monitor. 1 Monitor extends the first. And 1 dynamically shows the active one, out of the first two.
  10. Is there any software, that lets me mirror the currently active screen? Like how Steam Link behaves in desktop mode, but over HDMI. So if I have 3 Monitors, two would be side by side, and one would be a TV back to back to the monitors, facing opposite direction. And I would like to use the TV, to access both Monitors like with Steam Link, but without compression, delay and with high refresh rates. Thanks in advance.
  11. I did contact my ISP. Thank you both for now.
  12. Connection is wired. First Speedtest run: 374ms Ping on subsequent tries it stayed around 27ms Tracert 1.1.1.1 Tracert LoL Gameserver: Europe (EUW) 104.160.141.3
  13. From one day to the next the latency of our internet connection suddenly increased. Every device on the network is affected. Some of the notable changes are: Ping in Cs:Go: 7-10 -> 70-100 LoL: 18-30 -> 90-180 TFT: 18:30 -> 150-300 I could swear youtube videos also have a much larger delay before playing and pausing, although I don't know why that would happen if the video is buffered locally. How do I go about troubleshooting such an issue? Edit: Pinging my default gateway results in under 1ms.
  14. We do web dev for the local branches of all kinds of brands. Everything contributes to a first impression, and even loosing a single contract would cost immeasurably more than a laptop.
  15. That one looks ok. But it still has the gamer keyboard font and the dragon on the lid. I just don't get why they keep doing that... I wouldn't want that on a pure gaming keyboard either. Do you know anything about msi and gagabytes build quality and support? I would not expect advanced support packages to be available for gaming notebooks. (Like the business versions of the Microsoft products)
  16. I know, that I wont get a probook with those specs, but the design just won't work. I have regular client meetings and conferences, where stuff like that just looks too unprofessional and is not acceptable. The price does not really matter in my case. Edit: Also the G14 does not come with 32 GB RAM for multitasking and I do not have particularly CPU heavy tasks.
  17. Gigabyte is not really on the my list of people who make reliable products, along with msi and razer. The design is a little less in your face gamer than the asus, but I don't really like it either. And the bottom mounted webcam sucks especially in quarantine. I saw the video. I was pretty sure I would get it before, but since the review was not exceedingly positive, I thought I would ask here. Though it seems, the only comparable products are the XPS and Spectre lineup, which I already discussed.
  18. The design is too angular/gamery. Especially that ROG badge and gamer-font on the keyboard are too much for me.
  19. Hi yall! I need a laptop mainly for productivity/office work but I also want to play games occasionally. Most important aspects for me: Good keyboard!! Large battery Reliability and good support (specifically for business customers. -> Dell is not an option. They only treat you as as business if you buy a LOT, and I can't afford to get normal consumer support on my main work machine. I won't buy Acer, or gaming brands either; too many bad experiences. => I like Lenovo and Microsoft.) No gaming design. (That includes the aggressive designs of HP spectre machines.) Decent Screen Decent GPU I REALLY want Microsoft Precision Drivers No larger than 15" Budget is ~3000 I was thinking new Surface Book 15" i7; 32gb; 1TB; 1660 Ti Really like the 3x2 display for office work, but idc about the tablet mode. The battery is great though. So I can't get the XPS cause of Dell, don't like Hps design and the current Lenovo X1 Extreme has thermal issues, a weaker GPU and less RAM. Any other Options I am missing? Thank you in advance.
  20. I managed to fix it: I spammed the home button got to the camera and from there to the homescreen. From now on there kept appearing an error message, which I kept dismissing. I then navigated to the settings -> app settings -> system apps -> interface (or something in german its "Oberfläche") -> cleared cache and forced restart. Then things returned to normal and I was able to install another software update returning things to normal for good (I hope) But seriously Samsung WTF??? Annoying me with the notification to update, which I can't turn off. Just to brick my phone, on a freaking budget phone... What are people supposed to do, that don't even know about app settings...
  21. Since software updating a Galaxy J5 is caught in a loop turning on the display by itself, then going to sim unlock screen by itself then turning the screen off by itself and staying that way for a few seconds before repeating. Only holding the power button leads to any response and lets me shut down the device. Clearing the cache didn't change anything. Removing the Sim only removes the last step from the cycle, making it just loop between turned off screen and lockscreen. Before entering recovery mode the screen shows a software update screen for a while until at some point switching to the recovery menu screen. Please Help I really don't want to have to factory reset the phone
  22. Can I just let my Fans turn off, as long as my water temps are fine (when the passive cooling is enough for idleing) or should I always keep them running at low rpm to avoid overheating of VRM, RAM and NVMe. I am not overclocking of course.
  23. 15" 16 GB ram 250-500 GB SSD Somewhat thin and light (no cheap plastic, clevolike designs) Enough gpu to play pubg on decent settings/fps (gtx 1050-1060) 8th gen cpu Enough battery life to do at least light office/browsing for a few hours Not too loud under load (usable without headphones) Webcam and mic don't matter
  24. Pubg will propably the most gpu intensive task. He has a desktop he will use it to game at friends places. With the battery issues would maybe the gigabyte aero be a better choice? This is the local pcpartpicker: https://geizhals.at I meant those arguments in favor of the xps/spectre
  25. Would it make sense to get an xps or spectre with the new g series CPUs instead of something like the Zephyrus for better build quality, looks and quieter operation? He would only be playing stuff like overwatch, fortnite and pubg. We live in Austria
